Speaking during a hysteric and berserk town hall address about the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), woke U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) lost it over how DOGE is cutting waste in federal spending, vowing to her equally woke constituents that she would try to block DOGE’s initiatives.
As background, the speech from Sen. Warren was delivered to a woke audience in the town of Lowell, Massachusetts, on March 18. In the speech, Sen. Warren alleged that President Donald Trump and Mr. Musk are acting in a “dangerous” manner that is hurting families in Massachusetts, though she failed to explain how ending waste will truly hurt people over the long term.
Beginning her speech, the far-left senator declared that DOGE and President Trump are attacking America from within. She declared, absurdly, “It is so good to see all of you. So, look, I’ve got to start out in a pretty hard place. And that is: our country is under assault right now, assault from within.”
Then, after bemoaning President Trump’s alleged failure to defeat inflation, Warren turned to attacking Mr. Musk for trimming federal fat, saying, incorrectly, “And as co-president Musk comes through with his chainsaw, he’s getting rid of the “fat” that we don’t need in government. You know, like the nuclear scientists that take care of fissionable material. Getting rid of air traffic controllers, who keep us safe while we’re on airplanes. Getting rid of the people who do the testing to make sure that we can drink the water and breathe the air. Getting rid of the people who inspect food that comes from foreign countries to make sure that we can safely eat it. That’s what he thinks is cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.”
After further wailing about Elon’s firing of redundant and do-nothing federal bureaucrats, Warren declared that the reason for the Trump Administration’s hostility to waste is corruption. Making that absurd claim, she said, “So what are they really doing with all those cuts? What is that chainsaw really about? Why shut down these departments? Why take down money that we invest in pediatric cancer research? I’ll tell you what it’s really for. What the Republicans in Congress and Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to do is they want to have a $4.7 trillion giveaway to a handful of billionaires and billionaire corporations, paid for on the backs of seniors, veterans, public workers, little kids, and we are here to say no to them. No.”
A bit later on, getting to her claims that she would fight the Trump Administration and DOGE, Warren started issuing threats and vowed to sue them, saying, “So, Part One for me right now, for a whole lot of folks, is we’re taking Donald Trump and Elon Musk to court. Not once, not twice, we are in over a hundred lawsuits now. And they’re not through, because understand this: what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing is illegal. They are violating the law. We’ve just got to say it right out loud.”
Sen. Warren proceeded to further ramble about that litigation strategy, then she declared that Congress should take action against billionaires, saying, “Alright, Part Two: job in Congress. Go back to what I was talking about earlier. All the noise, all the sand in the gears, all the terrible things they’re trying to do, underlying all that is trying to hand over our government to the billionaires, to a handful of billionaires and billionaire corporations. This is going to be the fight over taxes, and that may sound boring – it is not. It is fundamentally who this government works for. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, a handful of billionaires who stood up there on the podium when Donald Trump was sworn in, they say that the United States’ people, the people of this country, should give them $4.7 trillion in giveaways and make everyone else pay for it. Because that is their vision of America. An America that works even better for the billionaires and even worse for everyone else.”
Ending her speech later on, Warren then declared that putting roadblocks in the way of efforts to cut federal waste was a “righteous fight,” saying, “I never thought I would be at a time when a President of the United States would be saying, “Yeah, recession, it worked out fine.” I never thought I would be in a place where the Republicans in Congress would be so spineless. But despite all of that, despite what we are up against, despite it all, I am fundamentally optimistic and I am optimistic for this reason. I know what it means to fight a righteous fight. This is a righteous fight, and we are in this together. There is no one I would rather fight alongside, but the good people of Lowell, Massachusetts, of all of Massachusetts, and of the United States of America.”
